𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠. / @wmdrage said : [ THUMB ] + [ ANOTHER ] -- sender gently runs their thumb across receiver's lips before leaning in to kiss them ; following the first kiss, sender places another brief one on the receiver's mouth.
THEY’RE BOTH AWARE OF THE FACT THEIR TIME ALONE HERE IS ALWAYS LIMITED ------------- for all the secrecy that SHIELD touts and prides itself in, somehow whatever door they try to hide behind for ANY amount of time suddenly renders itself unable to STAY SHUT, let alone lock. so it always feels as if they need to RUSH ------------ if every second they manage has been stolen instead of EARNED ( considering the way they’ve been able to hide this ---- them ---- at all in this environment should be proof enough that they deserve some kind of reward, right? )
so this one comes under the guise of yet - another - coffee delivery, sharon fine with ignoring the fact he’s already got THREE paper cups filled to varying degrees on the desk behind him. it’s a mundane excuse, sure ------------ between his brilliant mind and her spy background one would assume they could come up with something a little more elevated when it came to secret rendezvous, but sometimes the most readily available option works out just fine. it means there’s more time for this.
when he reaches out to brush his thumb along the pad of her bottom lip, he says it’s because she’s got something there after she takes a sip of her drink ----------- and she’s surer and sure there’s not a SPECK on her, but she’s not about to PROTEST what he’s doing, even if it’s charmingly cliché as far as excuses to get to TOUCH her go. so of course she plays along, feigning a NIP at him before he leans in to replace his thumb with a KISS; an act she’s so eager to reciprocate she almost drops her drink on the floor.
someone’s comm PINGS at the worst possible moment; she’s not exactly eager to look and see which is to blame, and neither is he. a SECOND ping moments later gets a GROAN from her against his mouth, the realization setting in that she’s the one who’s going to have to break this little moment up.
“it’s me, i should go see what they want,” the sigh that follows is as much apologetic as it is annoyed with having to leave almost as quickly as she’d come. “and try not to punch anyone in the nose over it.” ( and when he leans in to kiss her a SECOND TIME, the laugh she hears before he does assures her that he doesn’t think she’d really not be able to keep her hands to herself anymore than she does. )
